I want to try a relatively new feature of Khan academy which
allows me to assign topics and then to follow your progress.

I will eventually require everyone to sign-up, but, for now
(at least right now) it is going to be extra credit.

I need some kids to sign up for the “class” so that I can
assign some work.(I can’t assign
anything until I have students signed up.) So, if you sign up before 12/22 you
will get extra credit. If you sign up before 1/7/2018 (11:59PM) you will get
extra credit (less, but still some). If you go through the assigned video
lessons you will get more credit. AND, if you email me a review of the process
and of the content you will get even more extra credit. All this extra credit
would be due by 1/7/2018 11:59PM.

This is a 50 question preview of topics from the EOC. The questions are online

Green-Paper-Policy

In an attempt to reduce the amount of
paper I can misplace
and to reduce the number of trees cut down for my classes I am
instituting the
following policy.

At the end of each marking period (if
there are sufficient
written assignments to warrant this) there will be an extra credit
grade given
to those students who submit their work via email.Near the end of the marking period I will
search my drg.atm@gmail.com
archive and
assign extra credit points based on a subjective sense of the
percentage of
possible assignments (it isn’t meaningful to submit a take home test or
worksheet via email) that have been submitted via email.(As a consequence of how
this is done, you
MUST sign your complete name in your emails in the body of the email. I
sometimes search by first name, sometimes by last name.)

You can’t lose by submitting via
email.The only caveat
(warning) is that digital submissions are easier to check for
plagiarism J .

You wantto
read the
"Don't
Panic" document (always a work in progress, but,
up-to-date as of June 2017)
Homework Email address:
DrG.ATM@gmail.com

This
contains the most up-to-date versions of the benchmarks, an essential
content outline, a vocabulary list, and a list of Latin
& Greek
prefixes,
suffixes and
stems
- all of which will also help you succeed.
It will
eventually contain
lab handouts, worksheets etc.
